It is good to see even without the current financial problems facing the US, that we have not forgotten our past. The US House has approved a bill to increase the current Trail of Tears by 1,500 miles. The bill now goes to the Senate.
This is the route taken by the Cherokee Indians during their forced removal east of the Mississippi back in the 1800s.
One new area includes Fort Payne, Alabama, and goes through Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas, and Oklahoma. Another starts in Charleston, Tenn., and went through Arkansas.
I'm Glad to See the Event Remembered. --Old Coot
